You guyz have different companiez...but i guess my one word of advice would be to go with a company dat doesn't have a fixed for example 2-year plan. Here in Oz, there is a certain company called Telstra dat charges you if you change your mind about your server and wanna convert!! It'z outrageous and such utter bull crapz i tell ya!!

So be careful what deal u go for!!

It'z bull crap i tell ya!! And now dat i want a new phone, i'll probably have to pay Telstra to get out of da deal, then go afresh with my old number with say Vodafone..and get one of those dealz wif da handsetz...they have to make thingz difficult!! Da roguez!!!

3 hey? They alwayz advertise at my university!! dat'z freakin terrible...conning studentz like dat!!!

go with vodafone, hon...that's who I'm with - they have an excellent prepaid service and the call pricing isn't too bad, good customer service and they'll be straight with you which is very refreshing in this day and age

.....oh and you can get voicemail for free!! there's a number you call from your mobile and it activages vodafone to actually ring YOU back with your messages...comes in VERY VERY handy I tell you

Hey people.

I'm going to get a new cell phone and new contract soon.

What's the best cell phone service overall? Verizon? Cingular? T-Mobile? Which cuts off the least and has the best customer service?

Which one would you recommend me avoiding?

I heard AT&T Wireless was the worst and Verizon was the best.

What's the best cell phone? Motorola? LG? Audiovox? What? What has a lot of great features like color, camera, real ring tones, games, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey people, thanks for the suggestions (the American ones anyway).

I'm currently with Cingular, but I'm probaly going to switch to Verizon. The reception in NYC with Cingular is sh*te.

Two fingers.

i have verizon and i am, forever losing service on campus, in my apartment, in certain buildings...i plan on leaving verizon behind when my contract expires in april. i don't know who has the best service but i wouldn't go with verizon again. i've heard good things about t mobile.

I am glad you mentioned the NY area. I was thinking about traveling there w/my phone. So far, I haven't had any problems w/it when I was in LA, Cleveland, or Detroit.

Well, I work for Verizon Wireless and let me just run off our Worry-Free Guarantee:

You have a 15-day satisfaction guarantee on any equipment you purchase. You can exchange it or completely return it within 15 days

You can change your calling plan at any time

You'll enjoy the largest, most reliable, nationwide wireless network

Your problem becomes our problem the first time you call

You can get a free phone every 2 years


I think Motorola, Kyocera, and Samsung make the best phones. Audiovox is good too. LG is ok

AT&T uses GSM network which is not fully developed in the U.S.

The Motorola V710 is the most expensive phone we have which has bluetooth technology, video messaging, camera with 1.2m pixel resolution, txt messaging, web browswer, voice dialing, and the ability to download ringtones, applications, and games

You definitelty would want a tri-mode phone and not an all digital one

oh and you can choose a 1yr or 2yr contract, but you get a larger discount off the price of the phone on a 2yr contract and the free phone offer is only if you do a 2yr contract and only after you have completed 2yrs and renew for another 2yrs
